Environmentally Sustainable Waste Segregation and Linen Use in a Burn and Polytrauma Intensive Care Unit: A Nurse‐Led Quality Improvement Initiative
This study demonstrated that improving segregation criteria reduced variability in waste management within an ICU setting. Chemical waste was successfully decreased while increasing recyclables, showing that transforming a conventional ICU into a sustainable one is both feasible and effective.
